when i was little, i used to believe that a "self cleaning oven" meant just that...i imagined robotic arms and soap bubbles coming out of the inside of the oven scrubbing the walls and racks...and then water spraying to rinse it and then all of it neatly dissapearing again when it was finished. i never saw what really happened because my mom would never let us near the kitchen when she was cleaning because of the chemicals. she kinda laughed when i told her one day but also seemed very slightly annoyed that she never got credit for working so hard to clean it all those times cause i thought it was automatic!!
